The Year Ahead
Looking back the only good thing about 2008 is that it is over. A lot has been written and a lot more will be written on the year gone by. Being a firm believer in the Power of Positive Thinking, I always try to forget the bad events of the past and always look forward to the future which is always supposed to be good.
To be absolutely honest 2009 has put me in a oscillatory mode. One moment I feel very positive and the next I am depressed. On the positive side I am happy to note that in spite of the economic downturn etc. Geomanage is still getting enquiries and in fact we also have signed and commenced work on some of the new projects. Yet in spite of this, the environment outside depresses me especially when at times I hear some of the known persons being laid off or at times I hear that some known business houses are being closed due to the depression.
There have been so many moments good and bad embedded in my mind that it becomes necessary to forget the bad moments so that you do not waste energy on them. Also by forgetting the bad moments the good moments become more clear and can be recalled whenever I am having a bad day.
For that matter I feel 2009 is going to be unpredictably funny, not in the humorous way but in a "you never know what is going to happen" way. The over confident or the egoists may argue by saying that well of course you are never going to know anyway. Yet whenever I have bad times I think "How did I not see it coming?" When major events happen, we think about our next plan. As much as we can think and plan, life takes over and says `stop`. No one in this world can escape this. Even wealth and fame do not guarantee protection. Yet what separates those who live their lives and those who merely exist is the search for the future. When you get to a point when you cannot see your future then be rest assured that you do not have a future.
However, to ease the sense of frustration and the loss of direction, I still believe that deep down inside there is my will which says all will be well next year. Even in my recent past when I was having some of my darkest years, I believed in myself and I believed in my destiny. I just hope that I remember this when life decides to have some fun with me.
Thank you all for your support this year. I wish you all the love and happiness in 2009.
